Kristen Stewart linked to Michael Pitt

KRISTEN STEWART has struck up a romance with BOARDWALK EMPIRE actor MICHAEL PITT following her split from ROBERT PATTINSON, according to a U.K. report.

In May (13), reports suggested the Twlight stars had called off their relationship for good, less than a year after Stewart admitted to an "indiscretion" with director Rupert Sanders last July (12), and now the actress has been linked to Pitt.

Editors at Britain's The Sun report the pair met at Paris Fashion Week in France last month (Jun13) and became close.

A source tells the publication, "Kristen's not over Rob but she's getting there and Michael's helping her through it. She vowed to throw herself into work and be single this summer. But when she met Michael last week, they hit it off. They both hate the spotlight and are smart bookworm types."

Stewart issued a public apology to Pattinson after her involvement with Sanders was exposed last summer (12) and the pair was said to have reconciled. The ordeal ended Sanders' relationship with wife Liberty Ross.
